'He loves the challenge' – Henry Asante Twum says Björkegren ready for double Black Stars, Black Queens role

The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has appointed Kim Lars Björkegren as the interim head coach for the Black Stars national team, set to play against Somalia in November. Björkegren, along with former Ghana internationals Ibrahim Tanko and Godwin Attram, will lead the team, with goalkeeper coach Fatawu Dauda. This decision was made following a thorough review by the Black Stars Coach Search Committee, which recommended Björkegren for the role.

The GFA, Ministry of Sports and Recreation, and the Search Committee believe this interim arrangement will provide the necessary continuity, leadership, and strategic direction during a period of transition for the senior national team. Additional staff will be added for the November fixtures, as the committee continues its search for a permanent technical team.

The GFA and stakeholders are committed to supporting the Black Stars and Black Queens, urging Ghanaians to support the team during this period.
